Our last full day in the city and B woke up with a cold. :( Poor girl! But, so thankful to have a grandma to cuddle with her and let her sleep in her arms. Also, thankful that my dad and mom were willing to watch my sick baby so I could have some alone shopping time to spend some birthday money.

 

Later in the day B was feeling ok, so we kept our plans to go visit my aunt, uncle, and cousins and B's second cousin, Ciara. Being only 6 weeks apart, they are pretty fun to watch together. Shy at first, but then they warm up to each other. And Aunt Sonya made delicious homemade lasagna. Yum!

And Ryan flew back from Montana today! Yippee! B and I picked him up in the evening, although she fell asleep on the way to get him.

 

My sweet hubby bought me a Mocha Frappuccino and had it for me when I picked him up. I'd been meaning to get one all week and hadn't made it to a Starbucks, so this was a sweet surprise. :)

Another day visiting a great friend!

This time it was my friend Missy and her cute boy, Zeke.

Again, the kids played and us momma's chatted, caught up with each other and watched our children interact.

What a joy to have such a wonderful life-long friend!

B and Zeke had fun playing with Zeke's pet bunny, racing down the hall, getting in the bathtub together, B sticking her thumb in his mouth (still not sure why. At least it wasn't her tongue, right Missy?! Ha ha ha!).

Another fun day! Another day good for my soul!

 

(Not sure why, but my phone is having focusing issues lately, so this is the best I could get)

Fun with Dana and Jason!

B and Jason had a blast playing together.

Dana and I enjoyed each other's company and watching our kids play.

B and Jason also decided that it would be fun to poop at the same time. Twice. Ha ha ha!

Low key day at Grandpa and Grandma's. Well, until Jensen came over to play that evening. :)

A beautiful day for a drive out to Salt Lake!

Ryan headed to Montana today, so we drove out to Salt Lake (with a stop at Kneaders in Heber for a yummy lunch). While he is gone, B and I are spending the week in Salt Lake with Dadda and Momma to enjoy a whole week with family and friends. And a little shopping. :) Should be wonderful!

After we dropped Ryan off at the airport we headed to Dad and Mom's and hung out for the afternoon.

Then Grandma and Grandpa agreed to watch B so that I could meet up with my beautiful (inside and out!) friend, Dana. The Cheesecake Factory and great conversation without the interruption of children were much needed and appreciated!

Sunday, Broncos, Playoffs! All important and/or fun, but what is AMAZING is having a husband who will take time to play with his baby girl and the doll house during a close playoff game! I am blessed to have such a husband and B is blessed to have such a daddy! 

Oh, and the Broncos won!

Ice Fishing!

Ended up being a gorgeous winter day, so to the lake we went for ice fishing, sledding and riding around on the four wheeler!

I guess you can have fun in the winter! :)

What a treat! B and I had breakfast with all the sisters-in-law and mother-in-law (her aunties and Grandma) this morning. Good food and wonderful company!

Unfortunately, I forgot to take a picture at breakfast, but here are a few of the sweet girl I get to spend my days with. :)

Not really sure why, but she was just sitting on the couch for the longest time sucking on her toes. Ha ha!

It appears that she really, really liked the soup I made for dinner!

Mmmmmm....soup.

Stacking blocks. She stacked all 12 of these all by herself!

Oh, Dora...

A new favorite toy - color/shape sorter.

Smile!

Monkey pajamas are what she chose to wear today, which is perfect for a lazy day at home. Oh, and her favorite hoody (jacket).

Simple Wednesday

Not much to write about today. B and I just hung out at home because this momma wasn't feeling that great. But, we had fun stacking blocks, playing with babies, etc. Daddy took B for a drive when he got home from work and they ended up at one of the auntie's houses for a bit. All the while I laid in bed and ended up talking on the phone with a dear friend.
